Telcogames acquires Viva La Mobile
Orange Israel first to launch Viva's multiplayer games
Telcogames, a global publisher, developer and distributor of mobile games has acquired Viva La Mobile.
Viva La Mobile has been live with their proprietary Redstar multiplayer platform for the past three years with its live carriers cumulatively generating over 1.4 million paid multiplayer game sessions.
"The Viva acquisition allows us to continue offering our clients the latest advances in mobile games," said Jamie Conyngham, Telcogames' CEO. "Gamers in many European countries have yet to see branded real-time multi-player games such as Taito's Super Puzzle Bobble and we intend to change to make this part of our offering to our global distribution base."
Orange Israel will be Telcogames' first customer to launch Viva's multiplayer games in September. Launch titles will be Super Puzzle Bobble multiplayer from Taito and Viva's own critically acclaimed Badlands multiplayer game. Other single and multiplayer titles Viva has created include Rubiks Cubed, Aqua Dig and Fire Frenzy.
In addition to real-time multiplayer, the Viva La Mobile Redstar platform allows payment flexibility with pay-per-play billing, free play and subscription models. It also offers chat, high scores, international leader-boards and tournaments under its mobile games championship brand with carrier grade servers hosted in several locations worldwide reducing the integration required for carriers.
"Telcogames global distribution will allow us to get people playing our games around the world and to enjoy the great experiences we have built into our games," said David Kainer, MD Viva La Mobile.
